About
Anderson Organizing Systems (AOS)
AOS, founded and owned by Kit Anderson, CPO-CD, allows individuals,
nonprofits, companies and government offices to solve problems, meet
goals and realize missions by becoming better organized.
| What
AOS Offers |
- Consulting
AOS can come to your office or home, assess your situation, identify the
problem, propose a solution and implement it.
- Coaching
Coaching, typically a longer-term process than consulting, is a service
in which AOS guides an individual through a process or project through
intermediate milestones toward an end goal.
- Hands-On
Organizing
This
service is exactly what it sounds like. AOS
can clear your desk for productive work and custom design a filing
system for the papers that tend to pile up, then custom design a plan
to accomplish the tasks represented by the papers. Or perhaps the
clutter in your home prevents you from doing what you wish. AOS can
coach you to decisions you are comfortable with on keeping and
organizing vs. donating or recycling. Together we can make your home
functional and beautiful.
- Seminars
AOS seminars provide knowledge and skills that are practical, relevant,
and instantly useful. Each seminar allows time for solving the
appropriate real-life problems that the individual participants bring
from work or home. Seminars can be customized. A partial list of AOS
seminar topics:
-Conquering
Clutter
-File Anything in Your Home...And Find It Again!
-Managing Your Time: Getting Around the Obstacles
-Organizing Skills for Managers
-Overcoming Procrastination
-Coping with Distractions
-Helping Hoarders

AOS Projects
& Results
Here are a few examples of the results AOS has achieved for clients:
- Provided hands-on organizing for a complex, interconnected group of corporations, designing and implementing a centralized filing system. Result: personnel had access to previously lost vital documents, and the corporations were able to discard almost 50% of accumulated papers.
- Consulted to a medical office manager with a pathologically cluttered desk and similarly disorganized work life. Result: a report detailing solutions, including how to rearrange the office; how to declutter the office; how to implement a paper-flow system for claims; how to schedule the archiving of records; how to improve delegation skills.
- Coached a counselor with unsatisfactory performance evaluations. Result: her performance evaluations went from "unsatisfactory" to "excellent," and she was able to transfer to a better-paying position.
- Created filing systems for information needed in legal proceedings. Result: the information was available to support the clients' claims.
- Organized time and materials for home-schooling mothers. Result: better ability to plan lessons, find materials, keep academic records.
- Coached graduate students. Results: more timely assignment submission, better grades, better life/school/work balance, reduced stress.

"Without
Kit, I'd still be searching for an hour rather than just a few minutes
to lay my hands on a file...It's not everyone who can make organization
and time management fun rather than a chore."
